Paradise Pet Portraits - Nationwide

Member since Oct 2019

As a passionate artist and pet lover, I’ve been creating original, custom hand-drawn pencil sketches of animals for over four years. My love for drawing began when I was just a child, and I’ve since honed my skills to capture the unique essence of each pet I portray. I specialize in a wide array of beloved animals, including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and even more exotic pets like lizards and ferrets. My goal is to create a timeless piece of art that reflects the personality and soul of your furry (or scaly) companion.

I take pride in my commitment to quality and detail, ensuring that every sketch is not only a beautiful representation but also a cherished keepsake. As an insured pet professional, I understand the importance of trust when it comes to capturing the likeness of your beloved animals. My flexible cancellation policy makes booking a breeze, and I am available for both in-person consultations and online sessions, allowing you to connect with me no matter where you are. Whether your pet is small or large, I can accommodate sketches for animals of all sizes, from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs.

If you're ready to celebrate your pet's unique spirit with a stunning piece of art, I invite you to book me through Petworks today! Let’s create a lasting memory that you and your family will treasure for years to come.
